EDINBURGH, Scotland, Oct. 1, 2014—Routescene is to launch a new turnkey 3D mobile mapping solution, the Routescene LidarPod, at Intergeo which will save time, achieve more detailed and faster results and address many of the challenges currently facing the surveying industry. It will enable quick, exceptionally accurate, safe and cost effective surveys that previously could not have taken place.

Heerbrugg, Switzerland/Kassel, Germany, Oct. 1, 2014—At this year's INTERGEO in Berlin, Leica Geosystems and its sister company, Aibotix, will present a solution for accurate positioning of the Aibot X6 without GNSS. The UAV can be tracked accurately with the Leica Nova MultiStation to define the exact position.

Melbourne, Australia, Sept. 25, 2014—The benefits of the Spectra Precision SP80 GNSS receiver with its multi-constellation capabilities has improved the work efficiency of Philip Clark Land Survey Services and is helping the firm grow. According to the firm’s owner, Philip Clark, “The SP80 is enabling us to acquire fixed solutions faster that previous dual constellation receivers and to maintain the fixes for far longer even in and around buildings and heavily vegetated areas. We are now expanding the business thanks in part to purchasing this most up-to-date equipment.” Clark added, “I am always looking to streamline the time spent in the field. Previously we’d experimented with a couple of different dual constellation GNSS receivers. Although the receivers provided the required results, the ability to only provide single constellation fixes, either GPS or GLONASS, resulted in frequent float solutions and lengthy fixed solution times. This was not viable for our methods of survey.”
